Selfishly if they do expand their coverage and we have more Friday night games then I won’t be renewing my ST.
Have other commitments during the week, so struggle to attend non Saturday games and ST not really worth it at the moment anyway

Ditto. Already I pay more for my ST than I would in walk-up prices for the games I attend, so a tipping point isn`t far away.

The money from the BBC goes into a pot to be shared by ALL SPFL clubs. While there is a positive side to sharing the money around, the Championship clubs are undoubtedly penalised by this arrangement. There`s no consideration for the drop in income at the turnstiles due to the game being live on national TV and also to fans being unable to make it on a Friday evening. And there`s the "tipping point" alluded to by Stanza and DPB above.
We had a similar arrangement some 20 years ago, when the chosen game was moved to a Sunday and inevitably involved Celtic or Rangers as the away side. The BBC paid £55k to the home team and £45k to the visitors. John Yorkston told me the money was roughly similar to the loss at the turnstiles - usually about 3,000 down compared to the expected attendance at a Saturday game.
In the present arrangement, the SPFL clubs outside of the Championship 10 are the real beneficiaries.
Not your average Sunday League player.

Presumably, GG, the BBC like what they are seeing. It is a league which is very competitive, unlike the SPL. That`s definitely a positive. Several friends have contacted me today, gushing over the game last night. Captain courageous, Benedictus getting so many plaudits. People seem to be tuning into the games and enjoying them. There are, of course several negatives, as you have pointed out. I just hope we can still be in this league at the end of the season and push on from there. But getting the tv coverage may have other advantages in the form of making us more attractive to our potential investors.

How are they going to do a highlights package at all lower league grounds? Are the beeb footing the bill to put their cameras at each ground? Or are they taking the footage from each clubs tv teams? If so, are they paying for an advancement in the tech?

My thoughts were that they would use other clubs feeds, as they have done in the build ups to the Friday night matches...
The other side of the highlights is that there is more chance of advertising opportunities at the grounds with a good few more eyes seeing the boards than would normally...

Listening to Sportsound, and reading between the lines, it would seem that the BBC are going to send 1 camera to the grounds to record footage. However I suspect they’ll end up using a lot of club footage because when you watch the SPFL Roundup show on YouTube on a Thursday, a lot of clubs already provide some really good footage from their games. Even someone like Stranraer, who are near the bottom of League 2, have commentators and excellent footage.
